Durable Effectiveness and Safety of Hybrid Ablation Versus Catheter Ablation: 2-year Results From the Randomized CEASE-AF Trial [1]

Submitted by VQSier [2] on Thu, 2025-08-14 10:25

This multicenter randomized trial demonstrated that epicardial-endocardial hybrid ablation (HA) maintained superior effectiveness over endocardial catheter ablation (CA) for nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation at 24 months (66.3 percent vs. 33.3 percent freedom from AF/atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia), with comparable safety rates and significantly fewer reinterventions after HA.
